Chiefs’ Super Bowl rings are packed with incredible details and include removable top
The Chiefs players returned to Union Station on Thursday to once again celebrate their Super Bowl LVII victory.
There was no rally or parade this time. The Chiefs players were there to receive their championship rings, which include a new feature never before seen in Kansas City.
A removable top.
The “top can be completely removed and converted into a pendant via a hidden bail that seamlessly folds into the ring top,” noted the ring maker, Jostens.
That’s just part of what makes these rings unique. There are a lot of incredible details, which the players got to see when they each opened a box* containing the rings at the same time Thursday.
*Each box had a lock and each players was given a key to open them
Here is a look at the ring.

The top of the ring is modeled after GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Jostens said. The stadium is set in yellow gold and there are between one and three Lombardi Trophies in it, depending on how long the particular ring bearer has been with the Chiefs.
This is from Jostens: “Encircling the stadium is a quote from Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt that reads, ‘ARROWHEAD STADIUM IS MY FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH.’ The backside of the ring top pendant piece displays the championship year-dates the recipient has spent with the Chiefs organization as well as the 50th anniversary logo and an image of the Lombardi Trophy. The bail is set with eight diamonds.”
Right side
The ring’s right side has the Super Bowl LVII logo is cast in white gold with a marquise diamond and below it is the final score from the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. There also is Lombardi Trophy-shaped confetti behind the logo.
Additionally, 10 diamonds signify the team’s current streak of consecutive winning seasons.
Left side
Each player’s name is in yellow gold on the left side of the ring.
”A row of 13 diamonds separates their name from the lower panel portion,” Jostens wrote. “Featuring their jersey number set with diamonds in white gold, the iconic GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium can be found in incredible detail in the background in contrasting yellow gold. The Chiefs three championship year-dates are also featured on flags within the stadium, while the date of Super Bowl LVII can be seen on the scoreboard.”
Ring top
The Chiefs logo made with 16 rubies set in yellow gold is on the top of the ring. Each ruby represents a division title in the Chiefs’ history, dating back to 1962 when the franchise was in Dallas.
“The arrowhead portion of the logo is set with 50 diamonds, symbolic of the 50th anniversary of the opening of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium,” Jostens wrote. “Set behind the logo are three Lombardi Trophies, each of which is set with a marquise diamond at the top. When combined, the baguette diamonds in the base of the trophies total 16, a nod to the 16 different players who scored touchdowns in the Chiefs 2022 regular season.
“The red backdrop is created from 19 custom-cut genuine rubies and is encircled by a row of 38 diamonds. The encircling diamonds represent the 38 points the Chiefs scored in Super Bowl LVII against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs title of WORLD CHAMPIONS accents the left and right side of the ring top. The words are created by contrasting yellow gold set with 122 diamonds. Completing the ring top are an additional 130 diamonds. A row of 54 diamonds is set along the perimeter of the ring top in yellow gold, symbolizing the combined 54-point deficits that the Chiefs overcame in their last two Super Bowl postseason runs.”
Defensive tackle Khalen Saunders, who signed with the Saints in the offseason, loved the ring.
